I'm really sad...Joe Diffie died from the ick

 

Does anyone know anything else about this $1200 stimulus thing. I did not work anywhere but mturk in the past couple of years but never made enough to require a tax return. Do I need to do anything to qualify or whatever?

You can qualify by filing your taxes. If you made I believe $600 last year then you're required to pay taxes on your mturk income.

I'm pretty sure you can and probably should pay taxes on your MTurk income even if you made less than $600.

 

Even if you didn't I'm 99% positive you can still file a 1040. I'd do it ASAP that way they have your info in the system.

If it's <$400 (total, not just mturk) I think they give you a full pass & don't even have to file, but haven't looked in forever tbh.

 

I am not trying to doubt you since you both said $600, but https://www.hrblock.com/tax-center/income/other-income/how-much-do-you-have-to-make-to-file-taxes/ says $12,200? Am I reading this wrong?

 

They go based on 2018 taxes if you haven't filed your 2019 yet. If you haven't done either, I'd file your taxes asap to have a chance to receive it

 

That is for W2 income if I had to blind guess. @Ana* might be better equipped for a quick answer, but self employed is a much smaller amount.

https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc554

 

But I didn't get a 1099 from mturk? I don't want to break the law. If it needed then it needed. I just thought I was safely below the requirement to file.

 

If you are self-employed which MTurk workers are considered to be, that doesn't apply to you AFAI. You have to pay taxes if your income is over $400. Just Googled it.

 

I'm no expert but I believe that to be correct as well. The article had this below "You might also be required to file for other reasons, such as if you’re self-employed or paid on a 1099-MISC form" which leads me to also believe that's for a W2.

 

From https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/taxes/how-much-money-do-you-have-to-make-to-not-pay-taxes

"If you’re a freelancer, you must also pay self-employment taxes for income more than $400. These taxes cover Medicare and social security taxes."

 

Well shit, looks like I have a mess to clear up. Guess it's good they extended the filing dates.

 

I've filed with less with a W2 & got a refund + you file as self-employed, you just manually input your earnings

 

Thanks for the input all. I didn't understand I was THAT misinformed.
